On June 20, 2025, 10:42 PM EST, the Sun leaves Gemini, and Cancer season 2025 begins, offering us an invitation to go on a journey inwards, embrace our sensitivity, and develop more intimacy with our softest, most tender parts.
The Sun’s ingress into Cancer is especially relevant for those of us born with personal placements in Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn). The individuals personally impacted by the beginning of Cancer season are being asked to deepen their connection with their emotional world and honor their past, their roots, and where they come from. They have an opportunity to deepen their self-knowledge and their understanding of what they truly need.
From Gemini to Cancer season: From Mind to Heart
Wherever the Sun transits, the light of our awareness goes. During Gemini season, the spotlight has been on our minds, communications, and the world of ideas. The Sun’s transit through the sign of the Twins invited us to look at our life from a different viewpoint and to explore how a shift in mindset can change our experience of reality. During the past weeks, our attention has been on our interactions with other people and with our surroundings, on our inner dialogue, and on how our thoughts and words contribute to shaping our experiences.
As the Sun moves into the Water sign of Cancer, our awareness goes toward the realm of emotions. This is the first water sign of the Zodiac, through which we begin to develop a relationship with our vulnerability and sensitivity. As a Cardinal sign, Cancer initiates us into a new level of consciousness and asks us to embark on a new and unfamiliar journey. Going inward is the invitation for us during this season, a time of the year that challenges us to learn how to navigate the ebbs and flows of our emotions in a conscious and grounded way.
Cancer Season 2025: Cultivating Inner Security
Cancer season offers us chances to gain a clearer awareness of the lingering impact of our past, childhood, and family dynamics. This sign is deeply connected with emotional memory and this season reminds us that the motivations for our present reactions are often rooted in our early experiences.
Cancer season invites us to become aware of how our inner child longs to be seen, loved, and nurtured. This time of the year shines a light on our unmet needs and how they continue to impact our present choices, relationships, and defense mechanisms, inviting us to reflect on what nurtures us and what doesn’t.
The Sun’s ingress into Cancer encourages us to focus on developing an internal sense of safety and recognizing how we may be trying to outsource it, relying on external sources of security to fill or soothe an inner void, a pervasive sense of lack. Cancer season gently invites us back into ourselves, back into the home within our hearts, so that we can remember that true security is something we cultivate from within.
Cancer Season 2025: Upcoming Lunations
During Cancer season 2025, we are going to experience a New Moon in Cancer and a Full Moon in Capricorn. The Cancer New Moon takes place on June 25 in the early degrees of the sign of the Crab and begins a lunar month focused on personal and emotional renewal and exploring new definitions of home. The Sun and the Moon will be conjunct with Jupiter and square both Saturn and Neptune in Aries. While Jupiter’s presence facilitates optimism, faith, and a strong desire for growth and expansion, the alignment to Saturn can bring a sense of restriction, limitation, and insecurity. Neptune’s square to the Sun and the Moon will deepen our psychic and emotional sensitivity, already high on a Cancer New Moon, and remind us of the importance of establishing appropriate boundaries.
On July 10, a Full Moon in Capricorn occurs, marking a culmination point of a maturation journey. This event will bring our attention toward our relationship with personal responsibility and ask us to reflect on whether we need to be more self-responsible or whether we are taking responsibilities that aren’t ours to take. In Capricorn, the Moon can emphasize a tendency to repress emotions and around this time we will be asked to practice containing our emotions without suppressing them. The Full Moon will trine Mars in Virgo, an aspect that will help us access more energy to transform habitual patterns and move stagnant emotional energy.
Cancer season 2025: Journey Inwards
The transit of the Sun through Cancer asks us to prioritize self-care and self-nurturance as the foundation for our emotional well-being and to make sure our cup is full and our basic needs are met. This time of the year guides us on a journey inward and offers us an opportunity to deepen our trust in our intuition, attune to our emotional needs, and decipher, in real time, the message that our feelings carry.
This season is an opportunity for us to deepen our self-knowledge, develop a more profound connection with our emotional world, and choose to be in approval of our sensitivity, to embrace our sensitivity instead of fighting against it. The Sun’s journey through the sign of the Crab reminds us that there is strength in vulnerability, there is a kind of strength that can only be developed when we dare to be vulnerable, to be soft. This season reminds us of the importance of honoring our feelings and creating space to feel, to nurture ourselves, and to become more intimate with our most tender, sensitive parts.
